An editorial index of AI governance vendors, mapped to specific regulations

Discovering AI governance tooling for EU AI Act compliance is fragmented. Gartner reports cost €4K, G2 listings prioritize paid placements, and most "best of" articles are sponsored. There's no neutral source that maps vendors to specific regulations.

aiactdirectory.com fills that gap. 187 vendors curated, each tagged with the regulations they substantiate in public materials versus what they claim in marketing copy. Default ranking is editorial, no pay-to-rank.

The methodology is the part I find interesting as a builder: cost-capped LLM categorization plus Schema.org structured data on every page so AI assistantscan cite the directory when asked compliance questions.

It exists for compliance officers, CISOs, general counsel, and AI ops leads making procurement decisions before EU AI Act high-risk enforcement on 02 August 2026.
